    The Swiss team also found a unique characteristic of the network that it used to swarm around one of the nodes more often than not. Later they pinned it on the only hot blonde in the team.

  4. Robots on Exploding Robots May Scout Hazardous Asteroids · · Score: 0

  5. Very useful for students on Investigating Online Office Suites · · Score: 0

    I find Google Docs pretty useful for doing my college assignments. As a group, I don't have to mail every revision to all my team mates and just collaborate online - a wiki of sorts. Wish they'd have a better way of putting in images though ...

  6. Say hello to on Home Theater Transformed Into Star Trek Bridge · · Score: -1, Redundant

  10. Already doing this! on WiFi in Your Rental Car · · Score: 1

    I went on a road trip to Chicago and we had a router and two laptops hooked up in the car. The best part was that we could book the hotels as we went on the trip.

    Not! (like in Borat)

  12. Who does the money go to? on HP Pays $14.5M to Make Civil Charges Disappear · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand is - whose coffers does the money go to? How is this money then used? Why does the company have to pay the state or whoever $14.5 million dollars for something that was, though illegal, done internally in the company. It did not affect any external parties, the state etc. And what does the article mean by The AG's office 'negotiated' a settlement?
    Sounds like open bribes to me ... but what do I know?

  13. Re:But what about... on Seeing the Earth Almost Live · · Score: 0, Redundant

    After getting /.ed, they're not going to have any bandwidth left.

  14. Thailand? on Seeing the Earth Almost Live · · Score: 1

    I don't get the joke on Thailand.

  15. the pitfalls of capitalism on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 1

    As capitalism spreads across the world the rich will keep getting in richer and the poor will keep getting poorer. The effects are evident not only in the third world countries but also here in the United States (as seen after Katrina). The pay packages of CEOs of top companies have increased by 11% every year where on the other hand the salaries of working class people have remained stagnant or gone down. Across the Atlantic, in countries like Africa, large multinational corporations have robbed the poorest of poor from their own natural assets (look at Kenya & the Middle East).
    Unless there is a change in the socio-economic tendencies across the board and corporations become responsible not only for their share holders but also for the people in the countries they are dealing in, the gap will only widen.

  16. hello?? - the guy runs a music label on Warner CEO Admits His Kids Stole Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so what? the next time the kid wants an album all he has to do is go to his dad and get it. he could probably get free copies of the album anytime.

  17. In other news on Cracking the BlackBerry with a $100 Key · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news, NTP just sued Blackberry, citing that the vulnerability was actually patented by them.

  18. iPod vs Zune / XBox 360 vs PS3 on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What real advantages does Zune really provide over the 5.5 generation iPod? Basically none. I went to Staples to check out a Zune and it is nearly twice as big as the iPod 30 GB and atleast $20 - $30 costlier. The wireless sharing capability is the only big feature but also cannot be used until the people I know have a Zune. And that too is a let down because you can't keep music for more than three days. It is similiar to the problem Sony is facing against XBox 360. Its new, doesn't have as many games as the 360 and way much costlier. Gee, I'd rather go for the 360.

  19. Doping on Silicon Superconductors · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This goes to show that even silicon when doped get high!

    Now, that's a sig!

  20. Re:Mad on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they take turns. I do this usually on the night before the Black Friday sale with a bunch of friends. But you can't stand in 20F doing nothing for more than 1 hour no matter how many layers you have on. So we take turns, get coffee and stuff like that.

  21. They forgot on The 13 Enemies of the Internet · · Score: 1

    They forgot Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens.

  22. In other news on Demo Virus For Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    In other news, Symantec said that it will release an edition of Norton Anti-Virus for OSX which detects viruses for Windows. Just for kicks to see how many people can be fooled.

  23. Re:Free WiFi?? on FCC Nixes Airport's Ban On Private Net Access · · Score: 1

    Its never advertised. Everywhere you go ... you only see signs for LoganWiFi

  24. MySpace on Political Mudslinging Via YouTube, MySpace · · Score: 1
    candidates are finding new ways to bash opponents through social networks such as MySpace

    Now, MySpace is owned by NewsCorp which also owns FOX News. How did Bill O' Reilly allow that??
  25. He also said on Tim Berners-Lee Announces Web Science Initiative · · Score: 0

    Lee also said that afraid the Net could be used to spread "misinformation and "undemocratic forces".

    'undemocratic'?? They very fact that it can send misinformation makes it very democratic. Look at politicians in a democracy for example...
